"Ayusin niyo! Kahit para lang sa grades!"

Riel is shouting because the boys won't listen to her. Kanina pa kami paulit-ulit. They keep playing around while we are practicing. 

Nandito ulit kami sa lugar kung saan kami nag-meeting kahapon bago umuwi dahil mas malawak ang paligid dito kaysa sa loob ng room. Also, to avoid the copying of movements na rin. Baka mamaya may gumaya na pala ng steps namin for the performance later on Friday.

The practice went well because I am scolding the boys and eventually, they would listen to every word I said and ignore Riel's words. I don't even feel guilty for yelling or scolding them. They knew how much this will cost our grades. And the day came when we performed the Si Patokaan steps we prepared. It went well and Elle and Ash's group got a perfect score! Well, I must say Ash was the best dancer in the room and we were the witnesses for that.

The day went chaotic with studies and groupings again. Each day seems like a deja vu for me. Kuya Smith confessed through a coded letter which Ate Eri gave me when we are on our way to the canteen. Well, he got rejected. Another random thing that happened again today was Dylan was very talkative to me today and the past days. I think his serotonin is hyped every single day.

Again, at the end of the day, we went inside the service and we were lessened. We're already in the new service. 'Yung iba hindi na raw magse-service kasi medyo mahal ang bayad bawat buwan, but our parents insisted. We are already teenagers and I know they are being protective, but we also need to learn how to carry ourselves outside their barriers. But we cannot.

Pauwi na kami at dahil kaunti lang kami sa loob ng service ay nabawasan rin ang ingay, kaya may nag-suggest sa aming mag Truth or Dare. Truth or Dare na naman.

"Oh laro tayo. Pero ganto paikot. Hindi tayo pwedeng gumamit ng bote dito," ani ni Kuya Tantan.

"Oh sige! Game kami!" pagsasang-ayon naman ni Lourine. 

Kahit kailan talaga maingay siya.

Nagsimula ang laro sa 'maiba-taya' para malaman kung kanino magsisimula ang ikot at nagsimula kay Mariel ang laro. And yes, I participated because we are just a few, inside the service.

"Truth or Dare," tanong ng lahat habang ang iba sa kanila ay nakangisi, handang handa na sa mga ipang-aasar nilang ibabato sa mga matatanong.

"Truth," sagot niya.

"Sinong crush mo?" Halatang hindi na nagpaligoy-ligoy pa si Lourine sa tanong niya.

"Wala," tipid niyang sagot.

"Hindi kami naniniwala~" sabi ni Lourine nang may tonong pang-aasar.

"Wala nga, aba!" reklamo ni Mariel.

"Kung wala, eh 'di abnormal ka!" bulyaw ni Lourine.

Mag-aaway pa nga.

"Next!" sigaw ni Lourine.

Ang susunod na tao ay si Abegail.

"Oh, Abegail! Truth or Dare!" tanong ng lahat.

"Truth!" sigaw nito.

"Ilan na naging jowa mo?!" tanong ni Lourine.

Napairap na lang ako. What's up with the questions?

"Aba! HAHAHA!" Humalakhak si Abi. "Wala pa ako nagiging jowa! Hindi tayo maganda, sis! Chill ka!"

"Weh?" tanong ng lahat sa kanya, maliban sa akin.

I knew some things about her and she can have a list of her exes. She's beautiful. Her hair is short and straight ending up on her nape. She has round lips, almond eyes, and an upturned nose. She's beautiful all in all so I know she's just denying all of it. But the eyes cannot lie.
